Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2 Goocai Jehova na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto; mũinĩrei na kĩnanda kĩrĩa kĩgeete na nga ikũmi.
Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Mũinĩrei rwĩmbo rwerũ; hũũrai inanda mũrĩ na ũũgĩ, na mwanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena.
Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4 Nĩgũkorwo kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩerekereru na nĩ kĩa ma; we nĩ mwĩhokeku maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga.
For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5 Jehova nĩendete ũthingu na ciira wa kĩhooto; thĩ yothe ĩiyũrĩte wendani wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
6 Igũrũ rĩombirwo na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Jehova, mbũtũ cia igũrũ ikĩũmbwo na mĩhũmũ ya kanua gake.
By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7 Aacookanĩrĩirie maaĩ ma iria inene ndigithũ-inĩ; maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku aamaigire thĩinĩ wa makũmbĩ.
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Thĩ yothe nĩĩtigĩre Jehova; andũ othe a thĩ nĩmamũtĩĩe.
Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, thĩ ĩkĩgĩa kuo; aathanire, ĩkĩĩhaanda, ĩkĩrũma wega.
For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 Jehova nĩarigiicaga mĩbango ya ndũrĩrĩ; nĩathũkagia mĩoroto ya andũ.
Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 No mĩbango ya Jehova ĩĩhaandaga wega nginya tene, mĩoroto ya ngoro yake ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa Jehova arĩ we Ngai waruo, andũ arĩa eethuurĩire matuĩke igai rĩake.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Jehova arĩ igũrũ aroraga thĩ akoona andũ othe;
Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14 acũthagĩrĩria arĩa othe matũũraga gũkũ thĩ, arĩ o kũu gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake,
From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 we nĩwe mũũmbi wa ngoro ciao othe, na nĩoĩ mawĩra mao mothe.
he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16 Gũtirĩ mũthamaki ũhonokagio nĩ mũigana wa ita rĩake, na gũtirĩ njamba ya ita ĩĩteithũraga nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wayo mũnene.
There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 Ha ũhoro wa kũhonokania-rĩ, mbarathi cia mbaara nĩ mwĩhoko wa tũhũ; o na ĩrĩ na hinya mũingĩ ndĩngĩhonokania.
A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 No rĩrĩ, maitho ma Jehova macũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra, o acio maikaraga mehokete wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga,
Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19 akamateithũra gĩkuũ-inĩ, na akamatũũria muoyo hĩndĩ ya ngʼaragu.
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20 Ithuĩ twetagĩrĩra Jehova tũrĩ na mwĩhoko; nĩwe ũteithio witũ o na ngo iitũ.
Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.
21 Ngoro ciitũ nĩcikenete nĩ ũndũ wake, nĩgũkorwo twĩhokete rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru.
For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Wee Jehova-rĩ, wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũroikarania na ithuĩ, o ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũkwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
